Neilsen et al (2017) -- Existing research indicates that school connectedness is an important protective factor for a number of adverse mental health and related outcomes like emotional distress (Lester and Cross, 2015; Resnick et al., 1997), depression (Mcgraw, Moore, Fuller, & Bates, 2008; Shochet, Dadds, Ham, & Montague, 2006), conduct problems (Loukas, Roalson, & Herrera, 2010), risk behaviour (Bond et al., 2007; Dornbusch, Erickson, Laird, & Wong, 2001) and suicidal ideation (Langille, Asbridge, Cragg, & Rasic, 2015; Resnick et al., 1997). Further, school connectedness is related to positive social and emotional development of children (Kidger, Araya, Donovan, & Gunnell, 2012; Lester et al., 2013; McNeely et al., 2002; Monahan, Oesterle, & Hawkinds, 2010)
